Want to Stop ICE? Go After Its Corporate Collaborators.
ICE can’t function without help from the private sector. So we should force the private sector to stop helping.

James Talarico @jamestalarico.bsky.social thinks and talks about Christianity with as much clarity and grace as any American political figure since Dr. King.

A victory for him in Texas would be a chance to reset the national political debate in remarkable ways

International law won't constrain Trump's thirst for oil. But every solar panel that goes up makes crude reserves that much less valuable

Well, it finally happened.
The PSC approved Georgia Power’s request for expansion, to the Billions of dollars, against what many say, is unwarranted.
How do we fight back?
2 more PSC seats will be up for re-election in 2026.

Literally Jesus’s parents had to flee to another country with their baby to avoid the imperial police
Here’s the birth of Christ being defiled by masked federal thugs who think terrorizing marginalized people is funny.
Homeland Security would have zip-tied the baby Jesus if its agents had been deployed in Bethlehem.
